I should do a daily column on their lunacy, this is getting to be so ridiculous.

It must be delightful to realize that YOU are the burden to your government, and not the other way around.

I mean, that has to be so, else why are they constantly on the march to reduce food and energy sources for the British people?

The criticism over energy bills and cutting allowances for pensioners has been particularly brutal, and it turned out to be an awful winter on top of it.

Too bad, so sad.

But it won't make no nevermind, as we say down here.

The happy Malthusian enthusiasts in Keir Starmer's Labour government are going out of their way to starve whoever they didn't freeze to death this past winter.

Skinny, starving people freeze faster, you know.

It's Settled Science™.

So the first thing they announced was, rather than killing off cows, they're working out how just to take the land back from farmers. It's a shame if they grew foodstuffs on it for people, too, but these are the sacrifices one must make to save the planet for...somebody.

None of you British peasant people, obviously.

Any time a progressive says they're looking for 'new ways to deliver' anything, gird your loins particularly when they're not busy chattering away about it. This means they're up to no good, sneaky style.

The Land Use Framework, which states that 9% of England’s farmland will need to be taken out of production for climate goals, is "flying under the radar" for many farmers.

This is according to Laura Greenman, partner at HCR Law, who is urging farming businesses to have their say on the plans as the industry is "once again under threat".

The Land Use Framework, which was launched for consultation at the end of January, seeks a new strategic approach to managing land use in England.

As part of it, the government is looking at new ways to deliver housebuilding, nature goals, energy infrastructure and entire new towns.

The framework states that 9% of England’s agricultural land will need to be taken out of production to meet environmental and climate targets.

What, ho?!

Nine percent of British farmland, gone? Just like that?

Ms Greenman, who seems to be abominably named considering she's arguing for the practical side, points out very politely that none of these big plans talks about 'FOOD' production. Doesn't take it into account at all.

...Ms Greenman says that while it focuses on planning, energy and infrastructure, she warns that little consideration has been given to food security.

...“The framework claims to support Britain's food security while suggesting that 760,000ha of agricultural land in England must be removed from production,” says Ms Greenman.

What? 

No worries, says Labour. Who needs food?

We've plenty of it, and besides, bugs don't take up much space.

Speaking of that, old chaps, LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE FISH AND CHIPS...

Maritime bosses are warning that ‘nonsensical’ Net Zero measures could sink the British fishing industry overnight as Labour looks to implement stricter measures on fishing boats, canal barges and pleasure craft.

You can wave goodbye to that distinctly succulent British treat if Labour has anything to do with it.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Labour is implementing stricter net zero measures on fishing boats, canal barges and pleasure craft, The Telegraph can reveal.

Under the maritime decarbonisation strategy, boat owners will be forced to swap out diesel engines, petrol generators and wood-fired stoves for electric motors, batteries and extra shore power hookups.

There will also be tax rises on marine fuel, with new boats required to be entirely electric.

Maritime bosses branded the Government’s plans “completely and utterly impractical”.

Richard Gregson, the owner of Worcester-based Classic Yacht Brokerage, said: “It’s complete nonsense to have net zero on yachts.

“The technology for electric engines on small boats isn’t really there. The amount of diesel a yacht burns in a year is negligible, and even if the diesel engines were replaced it would be offset by the making of electric batteries.”

And listen to all the complainers. Good grief.

...Jerry Percy, the chief executive of the New Under Ten Fishermen’s Association, representing operators of craft less than 10 metres in length, said that adding emissions taxes to fuel for Britain’s fishing boats would “destroy the industry overnight”.

“At the moment we get a subsidy on diesel for fishing vessels; we pay less than you pay for it at the pumps. If they even remove that subsidy… three quarters of the fleet would go bankrupt,” he said.

Speaking about proposals to force fishing boats to go electric, he added: “It’s going to take some persuasion for companies to build port infrastructure for what is a relatively small number of vessels … I think we need to transition, but it’s not going to be easy”.

Peter Braybrook, the secretary of the National Association of Boat Owners, cautioned that replacing diesel engines and generators on canal boats would be impractical.

“The major problem is charging them on most canal boats, which are about seven foot wide and 60 foot long,” he said.

He added that the available space was not enough to install solar panels capable of charging boats for more than six hours’ operation.

Mr Braybrook warned the net zero measures could trigger a wave of homelessness, as people who lived on canal boats because of the high cost of housing would be unable to afford an enforced switch to electric power.

“No way they could do it,” said Mr Braybrook. “They’d be forced off the water, off their off-grid lifestyle, and probably into homelessness.”

Seriously now - this is a government on crack.

More Madness.

Labour launches a crackdown on boats.

Not the ones crossing the Channel illegally.

But British ones run by British people who are trying to scrape a living.

I suspect Mad Miliband has something to do with this madness.
